At the end of this video, you will have the basic knowledge to utilize their surroundings to shoot a time-lapse video.
- So we know our interval,…we're goin' with three seconds.…I'm just going to make sure everything's staged…and ready to go.…One of the things I like to do is get…a super stable platform.…So I'm going to take our heavy bag here,…and drop the tripod hook,…and just slip that in.…That extra weight is going to act as a ballast,…and it's just going to provide a little bit…more downward movement to prevent any accidental vibration.…Let me go ahead and check the shot,…make sure it's properly composed.…
I'm going to set it so it's just slightly under exposed,…and a very important thing,…remember shoot manual.…Particularly if you're going to see changes…in the lighting conditions,…aperture priority can make it really hard.…Sometime aperture priority is the way to go,…but it might lead to additional post processing.…Alright I've got everything set,…I'm going to put the camera back into manual mode.…Manual there, manual on the lens,…and I've got a preset white balance.…No autos there.…
Let's take our remote trigger out in this case,…
